Delete circular (or rectangulat) patterm

Hi,

Is there a was to delete a whole patern at once ?

select the pattern in the timeline and delete that feature.  It will delete the pattern geometry as a side effect of deleting the feature.

Are you referring to a Sketch Pattern or a Model Pattern?

I do think they might mean in a sketch. The feature one is fairly easy by deleting it from the timeline. The sketch one is not - really there needs to be some sort of linking that is preserved when the new entities are created.

I can imagine the problem you're having is to do with having too many sketch entities to manage or by accidentally deleting one of many patterned entities causing the pattern relationship to disappear. For the first case, you could double click on the pattern relationship symbol, edit the number of entities to be 2, and then delete the entity that you didn't want. (This would let you quickly delete a bunch of accidental sketch entities).

The second one I don't really have a fix for unless you were fortunate enough to be able to Ctrl+Z to the point that the relationship is displayed again and then you could edit that.

Hi,

If you use a feature pattern (which should be the method of choice) you only delete the pattern and only the base feature remains.

Yes, I use a sketch pattern and after deleting one of the pattern I did not find any quick and easy solution.

If the pattern is a quite large structure this is not much of a problem but when it is multiple single points that's a bit more annying.

I time line internal to a sketch would greatly help such problems.

Thank's anyway
